President Trump’s Approval Rating Hits Record Low

President Trump’s approval rating hit a new low Monday, with just 36 percent of Americans approving of the president, Gallup found. Fifty-seven percent of people disapprove of Trump’s performance in office. Prior to Monday, Trump’s lowest approval rating was 37 percent, which he hit March 18 following the announcement of the Republican health-care bill to replace ObamaCare and Trump’s claims that he was “wiretapped” by former President Barack Obama. The highest disapproval rating of Obama’s entire presidency was 55 percent, which he hit twice in his eight years as commander-in-chief. Politico’s Gabriel Debenedetti notes that Trump has hit a disapproval rating of 55 percent or more 12 times since becoming president on Jan. 20.
